done

Even though I said I was going slowly, once I got to page 600 it was no turning back. 12:32 a.m PDT Tuesday morning I finished. Made for a tired worker today.
Now it is back to knitting. Plus I need to stash dive for team colors to make a Pre-Season charity knit for Football-a-long. Trouble - not much navy there for a Bears Sweater, might have to make a Seahawks one.

a tiny FO

Remember that free doll tunic pattern that cost me $150 (because I bought the doll to wear it....) It is finally finished. I also have a sewing pattern for pants/skirt/jacket. I tried the pants pattern and messed up the waistband but good. So try #2 will be coming up soon.

p.s. still reading HP7, currently on page 514.

HP mania

I was able to see OOTP on Sunday. $5 for the matinee in my wee little town. It was cool. I enjoyed the film and look forward to re-reading that book.

I however am busy reading HP7. While other HP fans are staying up late and forsaking all to rush through this last book, I am taking my time. You see, it is the LAST one, and I um, want to make it last.....

Right now the hardest part is avoiding any *spoilers*

enjoy.

look, it's knitting

I swatched for Glee with Knit Picks Shine Sport in Aquamarine. I need to go down a needle size. So that is what I will be doing tonight.


The Big Pink is moving along. I have divided for the sleeves and will be setting this aside to work on Glee. I figured I should knit a short sleeved sweater for the summer in light cotton blend first. The Big Pink is recycled wool. hot hot hot on the lap. It is a mixture of 2 patterns but will be a long sleeved V-neck tunic.

As for the noise? So far so good. The boy is sticking to his promise of only playing while I am at work. ;-)

OK these?

These are loud. Thank God he can't afford the cymbals yet.....

I am going to go find a quiet place to knit. (yeah right)

I joined another KAL, this one is right up my alley!

interested?

steamy in the PNW

Yep, with forecasted temps in the 90's (weather.com is calling for 99 on WED!) here in western WA what would I be knitting? Why 100% wool socks of course! These are for an IL friend. I am knitting them up at the same time because I don't know if I will have enough yarn, this way if I need to make the toes a different color at least they will be even. I don't know the colorway of the yarn. I do know it is from my secret pal, um Barefoot mountain colors? I am going to have to search my archives and hope I posted the name. Dangit, found the post on Nov 24 - but nope no colorway.
Ah well, beautiful yarn none the less.
stay cool

The Boy's WIP

The boy decided 3 guitars just isn't enough - he needed drums. Shipment #1 was received today.

Hey so far these things aren't too loud ;-)

soft spot

We here at Flay Day Knitter have a soft spot for ol' Glory, so let her wave proudly!

Have a happy and safe 4th of July ;-)

mom's FO

Well at least someone has finished a project. Here is mom's Knitted Babe. This is Sparkle, she was made in my mom's image right down to her earrings. (she never leaves home without them!) I think she did a great job.


Check out my bling!!
